Diltjipuy, retjapuy ga rangipuy (it comes from the bush)
Group exhibition by the artists of Bula’bula Arts based in Ramingining, NT.
From fibre art to paintings depicting traditional stories—internationally renowned Bula’bula Arts supports 150 artist members from Ramingining and its surrounding outstations. Artists receive 60% of the retail sales price of the artwork, with the remainder used for all operational costs. Our arts centre is an iconic tropical elevation style building in the heart of the Ramingining community in Central Arnhem Land, 400 kilometres east of Darwin.
Our artists have a compelling material culture producing works of deep ritual and spiritual significance and are authentic in their connection to Yolngu (people) and their true nature and beliefs. The artworks contain meaningfulness about sophisticated and complex social structures: such as ceremonies, songs, language, creation beings, family and the Yolngu identity within, as well as the relationships between all things: such as animals, plants, birds, trees, fish and water.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body.
Bula’bula Arts is generously supported by the Australian Government’s Indigenous Visual Arts Industry Support program.
